Awesome, but how about fixing the fact the tents and vehicles dont save. That would be a great start because if the game doesn't work properly I'm not sure how many people will buy it.

yes to improvised vehicles.

When it comes to needing a blood transfusion or finding items you don't want there's really no way to get help or trade said items unless a friend logs in, 9 times out of 10 if the person that want's to help or trade is a stranger they will just shoot you in the face then loot your corpse, the better your gear the greater chance of that being the case. Heck people will kill you for a tin of beans in this game and that's actually a good thing, it adds risk and fun to the game and anyone can be a potential threat. So my suggestion Several random NPC spawns in the various towns or even in the more remote areas. Having there spawns random and in several different locations will make it harder for bandits or other players to camp them and kill players but not prevent it entirely. Prices and tradeable goods could be affected by Humanity rating, Food and general supplies would be in higher stock and cheaper for Heroes while certain ammunition and weapons could be cheaper for bandits or something along those lines. This could also be combined with the crafting system, finding specific items or materials could be traded with NPC's in exchange for other goods. NPC's and there available goods could also be randomly decided based on location, an NPC spawning in an industrial area might have vehicles parts or fuel for trade while an NPC in a military zone might have military tools and ammo. Some hostile NPC's would also add more to the game, It's doubtful that every single human in the area either turned or died. Certain boarded up houses should have hostile or friendly NPC's inside that may shoot you or offer refuge based on humanity rating, or not. They don't necessarily have to kill or injure players themselves as avoiding random bullets from nowhere would be difficult, they could just be threatened by you and shoot in your direction or use flares/nades to aggro zombies towards your location. I'm don't propose anything like MMO's or RPG's. They should all spawn in protected/boarded up buildings and have limited contact with players like the NPC that helps out if you grab him some cola from the store in Left 4 Dead. NPC's like that would make the game more realistic, aid or hinder players and add game immersion.

Story time: It was an average day on the coast. I got shot at, chased by zombies, and found myself a bike (while getting shot at). My brother and I were biking along the coast when a bus suddenly sped by. It aimed to ram one of us, but couldn't turn fast enough and kept going toward Elektro instead. Later on, after getting blown to tiny bits by an AK, I spawned in Elektro. Running around, hoping to find something interesting, I happened across a parked bus. Hmmm... Closing in, I noticed the bandit (he had his doo-rag on) working on his bus. Perfect, I thought. I can steal his bus! Mwahaha! Sneaking along the bus, I came around to the driver side where the bandit was working. As I dashed for the door, I yelled, "Hello there!" and hopped in. I go the engine started up and pulled away, running into a sign and fence on my way out. Soon after, the AK he had started riddling the bus. I got no more than 100 feet before the whole bus went up in flames, but it felt so awesome to ruin a bandit's day without firing a single shot. After this incident, the bandit was left without his bus and a huge explosion to give away his position. Oops, watch out where you leave your vehicles! The times I wish I hap Fraps running...

More aerial vehicles - yes, but (even though Chernarus is equipped with eastern weapons and vehicles so Mi-8 civil version would be just fine) AH-6X has TV camera with NV a FLIR, so basic Littlebird version (no guns, pilot + 4 passengers) would probably be better.

1. I can use them all three : > 2. Holland 3. Fluid enough for you to understand me! 4. 18 5.playing this mod for about 4-5 weeks and never played arma 2 before I started with DayZ 6. I prefer sniper. 7. I can handle most of the vehicles 8. Yes 9. Atm I play everday for 3-4 hours. 10. I play with 3rd on and gmt + 2 11. Shadowrun, Battlefield 3, Tribes Ascend. Maybe good to know that I currently have a DMR with 5-6 mags and most of the tools and a m4a1 cco.

Has the problem vehicles despawning after restart been fixed? Our server was one of those servers that didnt spawn vehicles because it was a newer server. There was a fix that was applied to spawn vehicles again.. However, every time the server restarted, we had find and fix our vehicles as if it was a new server.. We reverted to 1.7.2.4 to remedy this. We want to go back to 1.7.2.5, but dont want to have to go and find our vehicles every day. SORRY IF THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ANSWERED ALREADY, BUT THIS THREAD IS ALREADY 100+ PAGES.

Hello there! 1. I mainly use Skype but can use other programs if needed, ofc. 2. Im from Sweden, Gotherburg 3. Pretty much, yeah 4. 18yrs 5. Only had the game for about one week (love it though) 6. I can play all different styles, prefer assault or recon 7. Haven't really gotten the chance to use vehicles yet, but after all I've been playing things like BF(series) 8. Yes, when Im playing alone I can sometimes a douche, but together with my friends Im always trying to do whats best for the team! 9. Depends on weekdays or weekends, mostly prefer evening/night but if Im free, and have the time, I can play anytime. 10. Call of duty series, BF series, WoW. etc.

Zach, First I'd like to say thanks for choosing one of our servers! I'm sorry for the trouble you guys are currently having with both tent and vehicles saves. Unfortunately both issues are characteristics of DayZ 1.7.2.5 on the hive side and beyond our control to remedy. Up until recently our servers didn't spawn vehicles as they were 8k+ instance ID servers. When the devs finally corrected 8k+ servers and gave all of us the ability to spawn vehicles they botched the save mechanism. There are a number of long threads on these forums outlining the specifics in more detail. In regards to tent saving while that is also a complication of 1.7.2.5 we may perform a rollback to 1.7.2.4 as then we can at least improve the consistency of tent saves. I'll send you a PM with some information on our servers, it may benefit both of us. Sincerely, [OCN]Vortech of Overclock.net

US 23 Hello and welcome we are currently seeking active players to make us their home. We have active server admins who constantly monitor the server for smooth gameplay, we don't horde vehicles (as our server is filled with vehicles waiting for the taking) and we try to help all who help themselves. We also have a very active whitelisted medic on the admin team who is more than happy to help whenever needed. All of our vehicles and tents are currently saving correctly as we have reverted back to 1.7.2.4 version of DayZ. We are currently hosted by Vilayer who has just donated a new machine to DayZ to host their hive on and soon as the standalone comes out we will automatically be created into a server for the actual standalone. We are currently running a Veteran server with 3DP: On, CH: On, Waypoints: On, which was asked by our players to turn on so we listened and did. Also we are hosted out of Dallas, TX with a timezone of GMT -6 Central Time Zone We are open and willing accepting new and veteran players alike. Any legit clan that is looking for a home you are more than welcome to get in touch with me and we can talk. For those of you who wish to check us out, you can easily downgrade from 1.7.2.5 with DayZ Commander. For those of you who don't use it just head over to http://www.dayzcommander.com/ and download it. It is also just as easy to upgrade back to 1.7.2.5 if you don't like our server. I currently stream to Twitch.tv, mostly playing music so feel free to request anything you would like to hear and who knows, you might hear your name over air. If you would like to donate to help keep this server running, please get in touch with me and I will give you the paypal email. No amount is considered too small, we appreciate any and every bit we can get. I will post my contact details and Psychobob's contact details below so you can always get in touch with us whenever needed. UPDATE We have been moved over to Vilayer's own hive. Our server has been reset to a brand new fresh server running DayZ 1.7.2.5. ALL VEHICLES AND TENTS SAVE! NO MORE TENTS DUPING! DOUBLE THE VEHICLES! (YES WE HAVE 2 CHOPPERS) We can change between Chernarus and Lingor Island! Also "Little birdie" told me there are quite a few new maps being worked on for Vilayer hive. In order to connect to our server now: Launch Combined Operations, go to MULTIPLAYER, search for Desync. Should be the only server to pop up. OR you can also search for Desync in DayZ Commander to find the server also.

Alright then, here is My Wishlist: More broken vehicles, less vehicle parts, scarce fuel Less high powered/military weapons, more "around the house" type weapons (though still difficult to find - hello apocalypse) + degradation + scarce ammo. Searchable/lootable items inside buildings: chests, wardrobes, desks, nightstands, safes... you know like at some point in the not too distant past people actually lived in these places. I like the idea of underground building but I would like to see this underground be an actual place - like a subway and sewer system. Underground tunnels and stations, rather than just some empty instance you load into and create a base in. Example: You drop through a manhole and make your way through the tunnels to your base entrance (instance). With the creating of bases, I'd love to see the inclusion of being able to create amenities such as electricity - to light/heat/arm said bases. Stamina/Endurance/Agility/Dexterity(aim) directly related to and affected by hydration/fed/temperature/health level. Animals - dangerous wildlife. Infected population independent of players. It's too much of a giveaway: zambies here means player here. The diary. Enterable tents: out in the wilderness, have my tent in my pack, starts raining. I'd like to be able to set my tent up and climb inside to get out of the rain. "Friend" identification. If I'm looking at my team mate "Joe", I'd like to be able to tell that it's "Joe" and not the other random guy that has the exact same skin/equipment who just happened to come around the corner. Maybe some sort of customizable clothing flag - armband, hat decal, bandana... something.

Player Name: Fluffernuggets Server US 2297 hosted by #ufd Admin from host group on at both times Nick #ufd Banned for BE h4xx0rzzz at 10:40pm 8/18/2012 . Banned again at 3:30pm 8/19/2012. I do not hack. I was not using hate speak nor causing any disruption. The one that happened last night came with the same childish taunting manner that the most recent one came with. Last night I was running through Elektro, looking for food camo clothing etc. Ran towards a gas station on my way towards cherno and out of the corner of my eye I spotted someones foot sticking through a wall. So I crept over there, peaked in, guy was alive, ducked back down "friendly". Turned out he had a broken leg, went and fetched some morphine, with some additional for myself, along with bloodbags and bandages. Went back, tried to give the guy some morphine, was unable to do so, debug was having a fit, the kind of fit that happens when someone around is using a 15 dollar hack commonly known as "This Game Sucks". Anyways, when I came back I was standing inside a corpse, didn't realise it right away, issued the morphine, looked behind me, almost crapped myself seeing what looked to be a live person standing before me with a 1911 pointed at me. It was a corpse, my corpse, dunno what caused that glitch but whatever. As the guy I helped out and I talked Nick #ufd, I think the only admin on at the time for that server, said over global "Hackers are not welcome! " blah blah blah, no idea who he was addressing. Figured it was someone closer to him, or perhaps the guy I was helping out. "Nor is associating with hackers allowed." well ok w/e "You know who you are." wow seems threatening towards whoever that was directed to . Suddenly (Battle Eye (banned h4x0rzzzzz)) pops up on my screen and I am no longer holding a conversation with a relatively friendly and new player but wondering just what had happened. So I left the report of that incident in the wrong place. Turns out the locals there had their 'base' raided and destroyed and I guess I was on at around that time earlier in the day. I was just on with a few people earlier that morning, given that I used to be part of a clan that frequents that server. Well I suppose we're all taking the blame for that base being crashed, though all I recall is just moving to elektro, getting an alice pack, then heading off towards stary sabor after losing a truck to a pair of popped wheels and not being able to find it after I had found replacement tires. Did not find any of the vehicles that spawn at stary, so aborted with plans on maybe making a base later on in the same server. Check the logs though, I looted the store in elektro, hospital if I remember right, drove that truck a bit and left. The most recent one, well I ran around a bit, my debug was off. I went around Some towns in the North West by the airfield given my last log was around there anyways from another server. Figured get a can of beans and maybe find a map or compass at least. Nothing ever spawned, my debug monitor never showed and there was a lack of any zombies spawning near me.Over their global chat directed towards me given I had spoken with a former clan mate from ZyG|(back biters all ) about the incident on that server the night before and they were addressing me directly through global chat and said "BE logs show". Show what? So I ask you, please, go review the logs on US 2297 for anything Fluffernuggets (me) may have been doing wrong. Then decide for yourself what to do with the poorly misguided hosts of their server. Remind them of rule 11 .

Hello, I'd like to show you my conception of Dayz.I would glad if these two vehicles will be added to DayZ: AH-6X. This is tiny helicopter with 2 slots, which have not any special weapons like m240, average speed of 150 km.I'd love to see 2 AH-6X in-game, I have some ideas of spawn(6 spawns but only respawn in 2): - Balota Airstrip - Drakon - Kustryk - Zub - Krasnostav Airstrip - Baranchik This Helicopter will give better utility, if you play alone a UH-1H is useless cause it big and you cant operate your Machine Guns. With AH-6X you can land on tight places, you can hide it effectively. http://www.arma2base.de/content/images/game/arma2_vehicles_rotary_AH6X.jpg Guys if you like my idea's, write there if not write why.

It doesn't work. My friend and i have a server, where we upgraded to 1.7.2.5 and the problem appeared. Then now we have downgraded to 1.7.2.4 and now then tents won't even remember items after the first save. Its completely empty. I hope they will fix the bug with tents and vehicles very soon. Because i don't find it nice to play at all, with those bugs.

South of the northwest airfield there is non stop gunfire from hackers with god mode on. Myself and 2 clan members were on the server looking for vehicles when the screen "reloaded" and there was a mega sized bunker "hacked in" and people shooting off relentlessly in all directions with unlimited rounds. We literally listened to rounds going off for about 45 minutes...its a server with name plates...conveniently we were killed at the same exact time just shortly ago. I dont really care about dying...I have my own camp I can semi-replenish at...however this hacking is ridiculous. Check it out...south of NWAF you will hear gunfire as if you are landing in Normandy. good luck

since the new arma II beta patch came out the artifacting didn't occur anymore at my machine, and the game had been unplayabale because of them in version .2.4. anbd now .2.5!! Maybe theres hope? With my machine, flushing only makes the issue worse, and MUCH worse! Quitting the game and rejoining wokrs though, glitches DO NOT return for me, not even after 2 hours. The main issues might just be the complete inaccesibility of vehicles in this version. Every server restart the vehicles return to their spawn. Makes finding them easy, but you need to find 4 tires, eninge block, fuel tank parts and scrap metal all over, plus the filling with the jerry cans. AND the tents do not save donkey-sh**! These issues are the gamebreakers, a hotfix would be cool! Also, Ammo in your backpack still returns to full clips after you join next time...so ammo is still plenty! My Graphics data: Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 (GT200 GPU, 896 MB RAM, driver version nvlddmkm 7.15.11.8120 (ForceWare 181.20), for Win Vista 64bit (=my system)), directx etc. are up toi date, the driver is from 2009, because the generic drivers are generally not compatible with my monitor (will be fixed by getting a new graphics card...)). Maybe this info is of any use...I could post screeners, but I am too lazy for fraps...

Sorry about that everyone... here is some more information.. Vehicles have not all been gathered and stashed as a matter of fact we have a full house last night 40/40 with severl other groups of players seen moving around with vehicles so they are still out there. We have been on 1.7.2.4 for less than 36 hours so vehicle respawn issues have just been resolved.. Also More server information.. 3rd Person is ON Tags are ON...this is one we have been discusing and are split on, We would like to decide this if we can get a dedicated playerbase based on community feedback. Waypoints are ON Pandas are EVERYWHERE... Server In game time is set to UTC-8 / sun sets around 12:30-1 AM Easter Standard Time US Set this way so that evening gamers can enjoy a little daytime gaming as well There will be oportunities for people to join us at later dates...we are recruiting selectivly, the best way to join is to just get on and play with us..our teamspeak info is posted upon joining our server.

Basically there is a set number of vehicles per sever. When they get destroyed or are inactive for a certain amount of time they will (are supposed to) respawn. Most older servers have the vehicles horded and hidden around the outsides of the map. Also if you find a server with vehicles, dont be surprised if you repair it and its not there the next day when you log on.

Basically as far as i can tell hacker can’t become invincible only increase their health so they are killable. which is great if i die and respawn i find a hacker and kill him to get a drm of as50. Then i just camp sniper spots or hunt for vehicles. Me and my friends got a as50 with thermal scope from some awesome hacker. Once we got them they could not kills or even touch us.

before you start a server for DayZ (ive had servers in TF2, CSS, HaloCE, etc) you should have been a server owner for some other games, also loot can always be relooted and you will always get a better loadout then the one you have now so just suck it up and get looting. ive lost M107s, AS50s,vehicles,Mtn Dews,M4A1 Holos, L85s but i dont complain, i grow pair and get looting. there should be no second chances if you fuck up then you should lose your server and http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_loffjse5pL1qblwlt.gif

Have you already gathered up all the vehicles and chopper and stashed them?

If a server has only 1 of a certain vehicle does that mean that once someone has found it, repaired it and taken it away from the spawn point to their base that another will or will not randomly spawn on a spawn point for that vehicle? 1 broken down awaiting repair per server or just 1 per server period?
